Vice President Mike Pence walked out on the San Francisco 49-ers and Indianapolis Colts football game Sunday after about a dozen players took a knee during the national anthem.

The former Indiana governor attended the game to watch Peyton Manning’s jersey retirement ceremony, but he left after some of the 49-ers players took a knee.

“I left today’s Colts game because @POTUS and I will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our flag, or our national anthem,” Pence tweeted.

“I stand with @POTUS Trump, I stand with our soldiers, and I will always stand for our Flag and our National Anthem.”

“…now, more than ever, we should rally around our Flag and everything that unites us…”
